My contribution to this most august holiday is to point out the PERHAPSHALF cheat in Treasures of a Slavers Kingdom, which breaks a lot of game logic by letting you PARLEY WITH GUNWAR from the earliest points in the game :)

I wrote a game, Pirate Railroad, in honour of this year's Talk Like a Pirate day. It's been uploaded to the IF archive, but doesn't seem to be available yet, except at this page:

It's currently sat in the "unprocessed" directory:

It'll move to a final home in the next few days, when a maintainer gets around to moving it.

I played it a couple times to get all the endings. Nicely done.

Thanks. I'm honoured! (Although, as I am aware of only one ending, it's possible that we are not talking about the same game!)

Well, I answered "yes" to the final question on the first playthrough and "no" the second. Do these count as different endings? A deep philosophical question.
